Stonewall Orchard Golf Club

I've played this course a number of times. It's a bit on the pricey side for a public course. If it wasn't a players course I wouldn't recommend it. The pro shop staff is lacking. The gentleman at the counter isn't pleasant. I do appreciate getting off the 1st tee on time, however, the twosome I was placed with were allowed to go off early. This is a problem when you arrive at the tee from the driving range with a minute to spare. This would have been avoided if the pro shop attendant had been more timely with his check in AND hadn't allowed customers to jump in line. Basically, wasn't a good start. But where he lacked the ranger picked up. So all in all the experience got better. The course is in wonderful shape, the greens are fast but they bite. In my mind they are perfect.

I have played Stonewall Orchard a couple of times and was fairly satisfied with the experience. However, the round that I played last Saturday was just horrid. First, the pace of play was so slow that you can compare this to a cheap county course. (I finished 12 holes after 3.5 hours and I finally had to walk off the course)

During the play, the beer cart girl stopped by a couple of times, and that lady had no etiquette at all - she would zoom by while I was putting.

After I walked off the course, i checked in with the front desk and asked if they have any rain check policy due to extreme circumstances like that day (3.5 hr for 12 holes) - what really ticked me off was the front desk person in charge said they did not have any rain check policy and for golf now customers, I will have to contact golf now about the raincheck. No apologies were offered. I just left the desk. Honestly, what I would have expected the front desk person to do was to at least apologize for what happened and call in the ranger to figure out why the pace of play was so slow. (if he has done that, I would have been OK and not leave any negative feedback here) . Passing the buck back to GolfNow is just an excuse and they should know better about this. As much as I like the course itself, it will be hard for me to want to go back there given the unfriendly staff...just a main turnoff

I have played this course in the past and have always found it challenging. The greens are very firm with spike marks and ball repair marks taking their toll on them as the day goes on, but as a rule they are fast and true. Play them early in the day if you can.The tees and fairways were in great shape and very firm as well. A little expensive, but we got a great rate $52 vs $84. This course is away from it all with houses only visible on one hole; no other developed proprieties border this course. Club house a little small, but completely adequate as is the practice range. Saw cart girl 5 times during round. Played in a little over 4 hours and that was with dropping a few extra balls. Played tips.

It was the first time play but this course is very challenging and very good condition. As the starter say if you hit straight and long it's enjoyable course. Don't forget to bring your extra balls

Great day away from the office. Lot's of different challenges from hole to hole. Nice experience.

Despite being a healthy hour from downtown, it is still one of the best values out there. This course is in better condition than most private clubs.

Played for the fist time in a few years. I always know my game is in for a test when I play here. The conditions were excellent, although the ground was wet, making for short drives but consistent approaches. They don't pick easy pin positions for the weekends, so make sure your putter is working well if you want to post a low score. Worth the challenge.

i've played here over 20 times this year. each time has been perfectly smooth greens stimping over 13. I played a couple rounds in kohler at blackwolf run and straits and found myself missing the greens at stonewall.

Great Track, lots of forced carries and the greens are firm and fast. Always a fun round of golf but bring your A game you are going to need it.

18th hole is a challenging par 5 stay left on your second shot for the best approach angle, go long on the 3 rd shot and you are in the pond, bounce off the hill short and you are likely in the pond as well.

Enjoy!!

Course was in beautiful shape and was a great challenge. This is still my favorite golf course in the north west burbs. Pace of play was better than expected for a Sunday. Our foursome had no real delays on any of the holes.

Overall very good experience. Played this course several time in the past, the greens weren't as good and fast ax before.

1st time playing the course, but loved it. Played it from the tips and it is definitely challenging from there. Greens were in good shape and for all the rain we've had recently, the course was mostly dry. A couple holes from the tips have some decent carries to get to the fairway, so unless you can hit it 275 on the fly, play at least the gold tees to make the round enjoyable. Will definitely play again.

It took 3 hours to play 10 holes - too slow for me, so I left the course and will not return.

Stonewall may be the best daily fee course in greater land Chicago. The course sets up in rolling hills and have no housing development. It can play 7,100 yards and a test for even professionals. Greens are perfect and quick usually running 11. It's a gem and for the price it's unbeatable.

I really recomend this course. Fast and nice green, very good condition though the fairway. Amazing!!

This course is by far the best course in the area. Difficult. ...but fair. If play bad...it will show. If good...u can score good. Slope rating 138. Greens phenomenal. Very firm...very fast. Fairways in great shape. Rough perfect. Careful with 5pm ttime cause of traffic....otherwise not better course in the area.

The anticipation of playing this course is amazing! We had great weather and the course conditions were superb! The greens are by far the best in the area and roll true and fast. The staff always helpful and friendly. Played fairways and hit a lot of greens thus shot my best round this year (79) leaving some short putts out there. I will play this course 15-20 times this year.

Great course Please shave the mounds n front of the 18th green and ad a trap to the back of green.

Outstanding design with a country club feel .Course is very fair but can be difficult if playing the wrong tee's . First time playing course and cant wait to return .

Stonewall Orchard is the best conditioned course in Chicagoland. The greens are perfect, fast and true, and the fairways are like carpet. We were the 4th group of the day (playing as a foursome) and we finished in 3:30. I would absolutely recommend Stonewall Orchard to anyone looking for a special golf experience in Chicago. If you have a flexible schedule they even have some pretty good deals later in the day. Stonewall Orchard is a must play in Chicago!
